There is no such thing as a “mild concussion.” Especially for 17-year-old kids. Play it safe.

@prima facie – For the record according to WebMD there is such a thing (granted not always the best medical advise). Concussions are graded 1 thru 3 by their symptoms, severity and their length in time. A grade 1 (AKA mild) is defined as symptoms that last for less than 15 minutes. There is no loss of consciousness. Naturally this needs to be diagnosed by trained medical staff and cleared by them before returning to play. Agree that they should “play it safe”
